  • Patent number: 12140963
    Abstract: Vehicles, systems, and methods for navigating or tracking the navigation of a materials handling vehicle along a surface that may include a camera and vehicle functions to match two-dimensional image information from camera data associated with the input image of overhead features with a plurality of global target locations of a warehouse map to generate a plurality of candidate optical targets, an optical target associated with each global target location and a code; filter the targets to determine a candidate optical target; decode the target to identify the associated code; identify an optical target associated with the identified code; determine a camera metric relative to the identified optical target and the position and orientation of the identified optical target in the warehouse map; calculate a vehicle pose based on the camera metric; and navigate the materials handling vehicle utilizing the vehicle pose.

  • Patent number: 9790997
    Abstract: An assembly for preventing abuse of a pump mounted to a driver equipment is provided. The driver equipment and the pump have a mutually intermeshed driver gear and a driven gear respectively. The assembly includes a coupler splined to a shaft of the pump and configured to transmit torque from the driven gear to the shaft. The assembly also includes fasteners that are configured to releasably fasten the coupler to an end face of the driven gear. The fasteners are configured to shear, and disconnect the coupler from the driven gear when a torque on the driven gear exceeds an operational torque of the pump.

  • Patent number: 9726272
    Abstract: An assembly for adjustably mounting a gear of a pump to a gear of a driver equipment includes a shroud member, and a hollow elongated stub-shaft. The stub-shaft includes a flange, and a hub member axially extending from the flange. The shroud member defines a first aperture whose diameter is greater than a diameter of the hub member. The hub member is received within the shroud member via the first aperture. The flange has a first set of holes to receive a first set of fasteners and releasably couple with the body of the pump. The flange also has a second set of holes that are configured to receive a second set of fasteners and releasably couple with the shroud member. A diameter of the second set of holes is greater than a diameter of the second set of fasteners.

  • Patent number: 5635935
    Abstract: A video DAC for driving video displays with reduced power dissipation is presented. This is accomplished using a dual driver circuit connected to a current mirror, the dual driver comprising a strong driver and a weak driver. The dual driver permits switching current between the video load and a dummy load. The current to the dummy load is disabled during periods when the video signal remains steady for a predetermined period of time. The dual driver, using the weak driver, disables the current to the dummy load during video blanking and synchronization periods. This scheme substantially reduces the power dissipation in the DAC.
